Around five years ago, Dog Rescuers Inc. was called about a puppy that had been found inside a bag and dumped in the garbage.
Helping a two-legged dog to walk again
Rescuers immediately took the poor pup under their wing, and soon realised why he’d been abandoned. The puppy suffered from a birth defect and was missing his two front legs.
But the rescuers treated him just like any other dog who came through their door. They named him Cupid, after his heart-shaped nose and the time of year.
They then got in touch with ‘PawsAbility’, a company that makes bespoke wheelchairs for pets. Within just a few weeks, Cupid was fitted with his very first wheels!
Every dog deserves a chance
Since then, Cupid has, of course, been adopted into a loving home. Thanks to his wheels, he can do everything his dog siblings do: Dip his feet in the lake, run through snowy fields, and get the zoomies when he sees his favourite people!
Many would’ve given up on a dog like him - but this story proves there’s hope for a happy life for every dog, as long as they’re given a chance!
